A Dose of Daydreaming does the body good. (Home of the Nine Minute Savasana).

What is it that you find yourself day dreaming about the most? That idea or goal that comes back to you again and again. It scares you a little bit to think about actually doing IRL, but in your minds eye you see it clear as day and it is successful, beautiful, empowering.

Go ahead and flex your daydreaming muscles. New research (ref) suggests that it’s good for us. The structured kind of daydreaming that has a touch of realism to it has shown to increase creativity, problem solving and greater productivity in adults. And daydreaming can give us mental practice for pursuing important goals before we have to invest any real time or effort. I DIG IT!

For me, it’s a studio space of my own. A place to hold all of my creativity. A space to create a movement, movement.

“Novels begin, not on the page, but in meditation and day-dreaming - in thinking, not writing.”
